Harry Kane (Tottenham) - 12.5M

Tottenham were 12 points off fourth when Jose Mourinho took over as manager on November 20 but they could end this weekend in the Champions League spots if they win away to Norwich and Arsenal beat Chelsea on Sunday. Mourinho has never lost against Norwich as manager, winning five of his six contests with the Canaries.

Tottenham aren't playing particularly well under their new manager but Dele Alli and Harry Kane continue to fire them to victories. Kane, in particular, has an immense goalscoring record against Norwich, a club whom he once went out on loan to. In fact, Kane has scored a brace in each of Tottenham's last two matches with Norwich.

Marcus Rashford (Manchester United) - 9.8M

Marcus Rashford is already enjoying his best ever campaign in terms of league goals scored (11) and Manchester United are only halfway through their season. Rashford has been in immense form of late, playing a direct hand in 10 goals in his last 11 league outings (eight goals, two assists).

Despite the fact Burnley have proven very tough to beat in front of their own fans since being promoted to the Premier League, the Clarets have actually failed to score in their last four at home to United and five of their last six. After their 4-1 mauling of Newcastle on Boxing Day, Rashford should be primed to add to his tally and chase down top scorer in the league Jamie Vardy (17).

Conor Hourihane (Aston Villa) - 8M

If you are looking to pad out your XI with a cheaper alternative then look no further than Aston Villa midfielder Conor Hourihane. While Jack Grealish and John McGinn have understandably soaked up the majority of the attention, Hourihane has really flourished in recent weeks.

The 28-year-old has impressively played a direct hand in four goals in his last six appearances in all competitions, netting the winner from the bench in Boxing Day's 1-0 win over Norwich. He will return to the starting XI at Watford on Saturday.
